Your spouse is not obligated to file an immigrant visa petition on your behalf. However, it is concerning that your spouse has not done so or indicated a desire to do so. Have you talked to your spouse about it? It could be simply a matter of finances as the filing fees alone are expensive. It could also be that your spouse simply will not. Whether other option are available will depend upon more specific information about your relationship. You should consult an attorney. Many offer phone or Skype appointments.
